Abstract: An improved wheel cover attachment assembly is used with automotive vehicle wheels having a rim within an interior annular groove and a wheel wall facing the annular groove. The wheel cover has an annular recess with an inner wall. The wheel cover attachment assembly comprises a clip having trunk with a pressing head flange extending from near the top thereof in a direction toward the interior of the wheel. At the bottom of the clip are a pair of feet with angular toes which fit within the cover recess to be held therein. Near the top of the clip a pair of arms extend in a direction generally opposite that of the head flange. A plastic detent member fits within the arms. The detent has a projecting nose that extends in generally the same direction as the arms and in a generally opposite direction from the head flange. The outer surface of the detent nose extends slightly beyond the outer edge of the clip arms.

Abstract: A wheel cover attachment assembly for vehicles has an engagement clip member and a detent member which fit together. Arms project from the clip. The arms having a pointed end to facilitate entry into the groove of a tire rim. The arms have claws to diggingly grip into the rim. The clip has projecting feet with toes for gripping a recess wall of a wheel cover to hold the clip thereto. The detent has a projecting nose which is aligned with the clip arms, and a pair of legs aligned with the clip legs. The end of the detent nose has an upper slanted surface and an arcuate underside to facilitate removel from the rim. The detent has bosses that fit in holes of the clip to hold the two together during assembly. The detent nose is of a resilient self-lubricating material such as plastic. The detent nose and the clip arms are shaped so that upon insertion, a side of the nose has substantial contact with the tire rim while the edges of the clip arms do not.

Abstract: The present invention includes a variable reflectivity mirror assembly to provide positions of high and low reflectivity which includes a support member or housing, a reflective panel, motor means, actuation means secured to the housing for driven by the drive element of the motor, and a timed-drive circuit for directing the current through the motor in opposite directions to move the mirror between the two positions. The present invention also includes a mechanism for actuating the mirror as well as the motor drive circuit and the push-button assembly for actuating the mirror.
